A: This Benro Slim tripod is rated at a maximum load capacity of 8.8 lb and will hold whatever cameras, lenses, flashes, etc. that you have below that weight limit.

A: Depends on what your setup. It uses a standard 3/8 thread for the head mount so it can accept any standard tripod head.

It has worked with my 70-200/2.8 on a 5D2 when I needed it in a pinch.
